Abstract

An examination of the differences between two supervision
models/processes used for case conceptualizations in group supervision was
conducted. The first group utilized a relatively new construct, titled the 360°
Case Conceptualization Process, which incorporates a strengths-based method
encouraging reflective practice and risk taking. The second group in the study
utilized a supervision format that assigns a familiar fictional character of
interest to each group (Peer Roles). The authors utilized a case study design
to provide an in-depth look at the 360° Process in practice while also making
some comparisons to a group supervision class utilizing a different model.
Results demonstrated the 360° Process group focused more on developmental
considerations of both the counselor and the client and utilized less
instructor directives than the Peer Roles group.
